 Dissapointment July 10, 2005
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a good game and can be fun but it dissapoints in many aspects.Here are some-
1-The voice acting sucks and only vaguely relate to what the characters say in the series.
2-Multiplayer mode isn't that good because the attacks (like Heero's double beam cannon) aren't that spectacular
P.S. I wish they made a game based on Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz because, in comparison to Gundam SEED, Gundam Wing although older and not as shiny has a much better storyline and much more game material than Seed. (plus the gundams look a'lot more flashy.(especially ZERO, EPYON, ans TALLGEESE 2.
 Gundam Fight in 3D, but requires improvements December 31, 2004

Battle Assault 3 Featuring Gundam Seed is a solid fighting game with many unlockable suits from Gundam Seed. The player plays as Kira Yamato in Mission Mode and fight various enemies based on the route the player takes in each chapter.
The battles in each mission vary from 1 on 2, 1 on N, 1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc., before the player enters a mission, a status screen is displayed on the location where battle will commence, it shows the difficulty level and the Gundam the player will be using in that particular battle; because there are different routes to take, this status screen offers player a chance to think whether he can handle the enemies in that battle or not, if he decides that it might be too much for the first playthrough, an alternative route is always available and is relatively easier (most of the time).
Aside from Mission Mode, BA3 also has VS Mode, Tag Mode, Survival Mode and other extras that are unlockable throughout the game. With the huge amount of suits waiting to be revealed, the game will hook up those who play for at least 10 to 15 hours straight.
Graphical aspect in this game is very attractive, each suit is furnished in its own way to give reflections of lights, and during an execution of a desperation move (super attack), the camera zooms in with the pilot's portrait appearing on screen to yell out a phrase, followed by the fancy desperation move.
Speaking of the phrases being said in this game, it is a big letdown, the English voice acting for animes has always been horrible, unfortunately, BA3 inherits this trait and worsens it even further, every conversation boils down to
A: I don't wanna fight
B: I'll kill you
*battle ends*
A: don't throw away your life so easily
B: argh... I must retreat
they have little variety and sound dull, however, since this is a fighting game, voice acting is hardly the focus, it should not affect the overall effect of the game.
Sometimes players may find the controls a bit frustrating, one of improvements that must be made in the next game is probably the "unable to switch target when hit", there are, at most, 2 enemies on the battlefield the player will be fighting against, depends on the difficulty level, they can either act very noobish or can join together to pawn the player without mercy, which can get very annoying after many tries and still not being able to win. When the player's suit is hit, it'll fall on the ground, if this game allows target change when hit, as soon as player's suit gets up, he might be able to pull of a desperation attack to finish the suit that's doing the most damage to him; unfortunately, this function is not available, the player's suit must get up first before his target can be switched, and during that time, the player is vulnerable to many combos pulled off by his enemies and could potentially lose the battle from that.
Although BA3 has some flaws that will keep hardcore fighting game fans away, Gundam Seed fans, mecha fans and other gamers who want to get a taste of a 3D fighting game with free movements in an arena with at max, 4 suits per battle on screen should definitely give a shot at this game. And be sure to look out for the Japanese version of this game, which will offer not only Gundam Seed units, but probably Gundam Seed Destiny units with Japanese voice actings when it's released.
